If this isn't catnip to the average OSNews reader, I don't know what is.

Windows 95 is a comprehensive upgrade to the Windows 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups 3.11 products. Many changes have been made in almost every area of Windows, with the user interface being no exception. This paper discusses

@itsfossIt's FOSS I still think that freax would be a cool name for a distro.

  • I chose @OS1337OS/1337 tho instead, innpart cuz someone else more talented should have the honours of taking as name.

Still hats off to @torvaldsLinus Torvalds who's 'small, non-serious project' grew and blossoms now into an ecosystem that wipes the floor with , and I'd consider the "true winner" of the (unless we only consider certified-compliant -delineating , then ir's )…

A family member is overwhelmed with their Windows 11 computer. I'm far away but would like to help remotely if possible. Which tool would be best to log into their machine and help them out through the internet? Ideally I'd see their screen and take control when necessary.I know Teams can do that, but is there an open source equivalent?

[Edit] I'm on Linux, I don't run Windows 11.

Since a few people had problems today with To get the recovery key from your C drive *before* you are having issues, run "manage-bde -protectors -get c:" in an admin command prompt. This will show you the recovery key in plan text. To get the key *after* bitlocker auto unlock has failed, you may find it on your private Microsoft account, visit aka.ms/MyRecoveryKey or you may find it on your company account, visit aka.ms/aadrecoverykey There is also a youtube video from Microsoft that walks you through this. youtube.com/watch?v=drCo-S4_iNs

Windows a déjà un problème de sécurité À CAUSE des popups ("popup fatigue" qui fait que les utilisateurs cliquent désormais aveuglément sur les popups de confirmation, par exemple l'UAC).
La solution de Microsoft ?
ENCORE PLUS DE POPUPS! 🤦🏻‍♂️
theregister.com/2026/02/10/mic

Microsoft dials up the nagging in Windows, calls it security

: More prompts when apps and agents roam around a user's system

They finally did it. Microsoft has successfully over-engineered a text editor into a threat vector.

This CVE is an 8.8 severity RCE in Notepad of all things lmao.

Apparently, the "innovation" of adding markdown support came with the ability of launching unverified protocols that load and execute remote files.

We have reached a point where the simple act of opening a .md file in a native utility can compromise your system. Is nothing safe anymore? 😭

I've spent some time fixing my father's machine, which had stopped applying updates ~18 months ago. Applying a major Windows update failed with code 0x8007001f, and trying it from a USB stick failed with a little bit of extra information: error code 0x8007001f - 0x3000D The installation failed in the FIRST_BOOT phase with an error during MIGRATE_DATA operation.

As it turns out his COMPONENTS registry hive was corrupted, and Windows refused to copy it to the new installation folder. 1/2

@itsfossIt's FOSS the first push was in 1994, I had just bought my first PC, and was inquisitive, but I initially stuck to , the second in 2002, I was looking for a robust server stack for JEE, webprofile at my employer and chose suse linux enterprise, finally in 2022 I wanted to regain full control over my private machines again, better stability and maintainability and to protect myself from bigtech's data collection frenzy - delivers in all aspects
